Thanks
Thanks for the help!
The problem I encounter all the time is trying to take account of operational factors. We have copies of all the perf manuals - however, what they say and what actually happens are sometimes two different things. That was the basis of my first question - I know the weight affects performance in descent, but does it affect your operational decisions regularly.
(the 727 part of my post was to check it was a programming error - we're observing IAS cruise of 340 knots, a descent IAS of 280 knots, then if levelling off, the aircraft takes up a speed of 300-320 knots - if Mad Scientists post if anything to go by, you maintain speed as much as possible - e.g. .78/300)
Had a look at the links Calypso (there's actually a few threads) - it certainly helps so thank you!!
